BOGOTA, COLOMBIA - SEPTEMBER 9: The Buen Pastor prison in Bogota held the sash ceremony for its seventh annual Miss Congeniality Pageant on Tuesday, Sept. 9. The event, organized by the National Penitentiary and Prison Institute of Colombia (INPEC), brought together 16 incarcerated women.

The unique pageant is designed not to focus on physical appearance but to promote values such as companionship, solidarity, and mutual respect among inmates.

The competition emphasizes the development of congeniality, charisma, and positive leadership skills as part of a broader strategy for reintegration into society.

According to INPEC, the initiative provides a vital opportunity for female inmates to develop social skills, strengthen self-esteem, and cultivate positive interpersonal relationships.

These aspects are considered fundamental to the rehabilitation process within the Colombian correctional system.

The event was made possible through collaboration with various sectors of civil society.
